Unexposed 4yo who won over C&D on handicap debut earlier this month on first run over 6f (previous runs had been at 7f/1m); this looks a tougher race and is 5lb higher, but should improve.

Four wins last year, three on AW (6f/7f); some fair form since but has a bit to find with Instant Bond on recent form at Newcastle (6f); 4lb lower than last winning mark; first run here.

Dual C&D winner for Lauren Young, who's back up today, last autumn, latterly off a 2lb higher mark; expensive to follow since but won't mind coming back down from 7f and a case could be made.

Form & Verdict
The most encouraging of her three runs came when fourth of seven, beaten 11l, in an 8.6f novice at Wolverhampton four weeks ago; potential improver now handicapping at a low level and she is bred to be a sprinter; worth a market check.

Ran on well when justifying favouritism over C&D (Class 6; from 5lb lower) in November; third to Our Absent Friends next time, before being disadvantaged by a wide draw at Wolverhampton (6f) latest; this is potentially asking a bit too much.

0-12 but he's been in good form on Tapeta recently including a close second here (7f) last month and a creditable fourth in another classified event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last time; mark hasn't changed much and he's a key player back in a handicap.

Form & Verdict
Won a C&D handicap off 21lb higher just over two years ago; ended 2024 quietly and he was well beaten in four runs for this yard last year; been given a chance by the handicapper on AW so couldn't completely dismiss, for all there are obvious risks.

Much better than this on AW in his pomp but there hasn't been much to celebrate in five runs for this yard, including returned to AW when last of seven over C&D two weeks ago; another ease in grade today but he's risky.
